I tried every holiday drink that Starbucks has on the menu this year — here's what I thought

Starbucks is currently offering six holiday drinks: the Peppermint Mocha, the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, the Gingerbread Latte, the Eggnog Latte, the Chestnut Praline Latte, and the Caramel Brulée Latte.

I tried them all.

While they’re all sweet enough to please even the biggest sugar enthusiast, the winner was one of the least sweet drinks, and an underdog: the Chestnut Praline Latte.

In the US at least, the second the clock strikes midnight on November 1, people toss their Halloween garb in the closet for another year and bring out the tinsel and Christmas music. For better or worse, it’s officially the holiday season.

This means that it is also time for Starbucks‘ famous holiday drink menu. Not surprisingly, it’s filled with holiday staples like eggnog, peppermint, and gingerbread. In fact, it features six holiday drinks this year: the Peppermint Mocha, the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, the Gingerbread Latte, the Eggnog Latte, the Chestnut Praline Latte, and the Caramel Brulée Latte.

Here at INSIDER, we love a taste test, so we decided to put all of these drinks to the test.

Each one cost $5.45 for a grande (medium) size, with a range of caloric values. Read on to see what we thought.

Every year, just moments after the wafts of pumpkin spice have disappeared from the air, Starbucks announces their holiday drink lineup, along with their special holiday cups.
